Citizens Across India Gain Easy Access to Digital Services via DigiLocker and e-District
The National e-Governance Division (NeGD), under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), has achieved a major milestone by integrating close to 2,000 e-Government services across all 36 States and Union Territories. These services are now accessible through the DigiLocker and e-District platforms, allowing citizens to use them anytime and from anywhere.
This integration includes access to certificates, welfare schemes, utility bill payments, and other essential public services. The move supports the broader goals of the Digital India initiative, aiming to build a paperless, mobile-first governance model. It also helps further India’s commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by making services more accessible and inclusive.
Maharashtra Leads in Number of Services Offered
Among all the states, Maharashtra leads the nation by offering the highest number of services—254 in total. Delhi follows with 123 services, while Karnataka provides 113. Assam and Uttar Pradesh offer 102 and 86 services respectively. Other notable contributors include Kerala and Jammu & Kashmir with 77 each, Andhra Pradesh with 76, and Gujarat with 64. Tamil Nadu and Goa both offer 63 services, followed by Haryana at 60 and Himachal Pradesh at 58.
In total, 1,938 citizen services have been made available through the unified platforms. These digital options make governance more transparent and efficient, directly benefiting millions of citizens.
DigiLocker Strengthens Digital Infrastructure
DigiLocker plays a central role in this achievement. As part of India’s digital infrastructure, it addresses key issues such as data security, interoperability, and coordination among various government agencies. Its reliable design ensures easy access to documents and services, making it a trusted platform for citizens nationwide.
This success highlights how technology can improve governance and empower the public. Through secure digital channels, citizens can manage their personal records without relying on physical paperwork or in-person visits.
NeGD’s Vision for Future Growth
Building on this progress, NeGD plans to expand its range of services using artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies. Training programmes and workshops will be held across states to boost awareness and help more people use these platforms effectively.
With a focus on inclusivity and last-mile delivery, NeGD aims to make digital services accessible to every corner of the country. This aligns with the Prime Minister’s vision of creating a digitally empowered and inclusive India.
